Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA 13576 has grown marginally in terms of sunspot area since the last message by consolidating some spots, and it remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group. NOAA 13576 was the most flare-productive region in the period, with multiple C-class and two M-class flares (an M3.5 and M1.8 on 8-Feb-2024 at 12:41 UT and 15:17 UT, respectively), which includes the largest magnitude flare. Further C-class flaring is expected in the next 24 hours, with good chances for additional M-class flares.

The position of NOAA 13576 on 8-Feb-2024 at 16:30 UT is:

S15E51 , ( -732", -185" )
